What are the withholding requirements for winnings from casino gambling?
The casinos do not withhold taxes from winnings. They issue the player a Form 1099G, which shows the players jackpot amount, a copy is filed with the IRS and the player is responsible for reporting the winnings when the file their taxes. Casino gambling winnings are considered income by the IRS. The only time taxes are withheld from winnings at the time jackpots are paid is from the multi-million dollar jackpots. A representative from the IRS is present at the time payment to the player is made. It can take hours for one of those to be paid, as they are not paid by the casino but rather the company that makes the slot machine, such as IGT or Bally's.Different states have different laws on this also. For example, Indiana withholds 3.4% state tax from all jackpots of $1200 and up. You can request federal tax be taken out at the time you are paid also, but beware: federal tax is 25% of the jackpot, so unless you hit a really nice jackpot ($20,000+) you probably don't want to take Federal out.

Does a casino hold out any taxes from your winnings or do you fill out a form?
It depends on how large your winnings are. In most cases you are issued a W-2G form showing the amount of your winnings, this is reported to the IRS and you must list it as other income on your taxes. In the case of some very large jackpots ( in the +$500,000 range) a portion of your winnings can be withheld on the spot by an IRS representative.

How do you get another copy of your w-2g for gambling winnings?
From the Casino. Most likely they will send you a 1099 tax form reporting the amount of your winnings from the casino. They will also send a copy of this form to the IRS when they send it to you. They are not required to send you anything that shows the amount of your losses from the casino. This is entirely in your hands. You are not allowed to take a deduction for losses over your winnings but are allowed to offset winnings up to that amount.

Are gambling winnings reported bu the gambling establishment?
Any winnings that you are required to pay taxes on are reported by the casino to the IRS and to your state tax commission. In most states this would be any single hit jackpot of $1,200.00 or more. For instance, if you hit 3 Double Diamonds on a slot machine that pays $1,200.00 for that single hit, then you would pay taxes on that amount. The casino will issue you a W2G showing the taxes that you paid and the casino will report it to the IRS. But, if you were to win three $400.00 jackpots totaling $1,200.00, you would not have to pay any taxes on these jackpots. However, if you have accumulated or aggregated cash transactions (either paid into a casino or paid out from the casino to you) totaling $10,000.01, it will be reported because of the Bank Secrecy Act enacted by Congress to prevent money laundering.
